What’s the difference between apt-get dist-upgrade and do-release-upgrade?

Will apt-get dist-upgrade do the exact same thing as running do-release-upgrade?

I’m currently running Ubuntu Server 11.04.

Can someone clarify Ubuntu (Debian) dist-upgrade for me?

I’ve got an Ubuntu 8.04 LTS server. There are several packages which are “kept back” (“the following updates have been kept back:”) when I do an apt-get upgrade. It’s my understanding that I can do an apt-get dist-upgrade to upgrade these packages, but I have a few concerns:

1) If I do a dist-upgrade, will I be upgrading from 8.04 to…

Recover from shutdown during Ubuntu distribution upgrade

I have a computer which was unexpectedly shut down during a distribution upgrade (Ubuntu 8.10 -> 9.04). It now won’t finish booting – various X errors, then it goes to the login screen but won’t allow logins.

I have a backup of it and the /home data is all still OK on the drive so it’s no emergancy, but a complete rebuild is still an…

Dist-upgrading to (k)ubuntu 14.04

Well, the whole experience was a disaster, but eventually.. everything seem ok...

Problems/Issues:

Update hangs on mdadm on Found kernel:

Found kernel: /boot/vmlinuz-3.13.0-12-generic Found kernel: /boot/vmlinuz-3.11.0-17-generic Found kernel: /boot/vmlinuz-3.11.0-15-generic Found kernel: /boot/memtest86+.bin

Workaround:

kill mdadm.postinit - if you are lucky the upgrade will continue

kill mdadm.postinit and then sudo dpkg --configure -a to try to finish the upgrade

sudo echo ``mdadm hold'' | dpkg --set-selections and then sudo dpkg --configure -a to finish the upgrade

kill the update-grub process and when the upgrade finishes, do a manual update-grub

If all the above fail, go buy a Mac.

After the "successful" installation the CPU usage is over 80% all the time. This is because the "baloo" file indexer is running filling the free space of your disk! However, you cannot disable it directly because:

There is no explicit “Enable/Disable” button any more. We would like to promote the use of searching and feel that Baloo should never get in the users way. However, we are smart about it and IF you add your HOME directory to the list of “excluded folders”, Baloo will switch itself off since it no longer has anything to index.

Enjoy! :-)
